While Splunk allows you to ingest massive amounts of data to identify potential risks, it is imperative that those events be analyzed for any possible threats to the organization. That's where VirusTotal's access to the world's largest database of threat data can provide the most thorough validation available. Within the confines of Splunk, an analyst is able to take an event and conduct an in-depth investigation into that event. When paired with VirusTotal, it will allow organizations to reduce risk significantly while increasing the productivity and efficiency of security staff.
